Overturned Tower

Russell took the elevator again and returned to the first floor of the Beehive Nightclub.

There were more people in the elevator when going down than when going up... but fortunately, I didn't meet any passerby who likes to catch people's tails this time.

Russell was not wearing a mask. But just from his back, it can be seen that he is obviously a young man...a boy.

Boys who can enter the Beehive Nightclub can actually be regarded as smiling masks, regardless of whether they wear masks or not.

The person wearing the smiling mask is itself part of the customer “user experience” of the crying face mask.

Since it is positioned as an "entertainment product", it is very reasonable for people to talk to it when walking on the street - and it is no wonder.

Russell thought quietly.

Something is clearly wrong.

Judging from that recording, the other party knew the Inferior and Delphinium very well... but knew nothing about himself.

If we start from this perspective... is there something that the Inferior and Delphinium don't know, but that they might know?

That was the information Russell had just learned from the Tower of Babel about the emerging mage organization in the lower city.

——Behind the Xiao Liuli incident is an emerging mage association called the Veil of Ignorance.

Now that you know this.

Then infer the opposite... Are the suspected demonic traces on Xiao Liuli related to the Veil of Ignorance?

Russell thought the answer should be no.

Originally, Russell believed that the organization behind the kidnapping of Xiao Liuli should have a demon. It was he who infected Xiao Liuli with the demonic aura and seduced the bad guy to assassinate him.

But looking back now, this possibility is really a bit reluctant.

The first is the demon - how do they possess a demon that is not detected until it is hatched, and how do they control this demon from eating people and causing mass disappearances?

The plan to lure the bad guys over and assassinate them seemed more like a random plan. There isn't even any high-level supervision here, just four abandoned children here. The iron mask that embodies the leader's will is also placed on the 18th floor instead of the first floor.

From this point of view.

Russell guessed that the leader's purpose was not to assassinate the bad guys - although he said this to Xiao Liuli and the four or five people, the leader deceived them. His real purpose is still the inferior. And he was the inferior from the beginning.

He has a special preference for the bad...a preference that has a bit of a Gotham flavor to it.

——The real purpose of that person is to let the bad guy kill the elf with his own hands.

Judging from the reactions of the elf and the inferior, it seemed that he had indeed had such an idea.

If you think about it from this "Gotham flavor", Russell can vaguely guess the truth of the matter:

The bad guy may be different from his stinky face, but a victim who truly walks the path of justice.

And if he kills innocent people with his own hands in order to save others, he may commit suicide to erase the evidence of his crime.

As for the purpose...perhaps it is to prevent the symbol of "the inferior" from being tarnished. Or maybe it's to avoid disappointing someone, or to prevent someone from thinking they've seen through him... It's possible.

——But if the bad guy discovers that the child he killed is an elf. He can't commit suicide.

If the person killed is an ordinary person, then the bad person can indeed escape from trial by committing suicide. After all, one life is worth another.

However, the life weight of elves is different.

If the child he killed was an elf, this matter would definitely be pursued to the end.

Then in the end, the suicide of the inferior will become "suicide out of fear of crime."

So he must live.

If Delphinium fails to crack the code in the end and remains in the impression space, she will become a vegetative state; if Delphinium is lucky and chooses to retreat before the third level and escapes, it is entirely possible that she will be forced to bear the crime... After all, there is always Someone is responsible for this.

Then with the inferior person's sense of responsibility, he cannot choose to escape - he must admit all crimes personally, bear all the responsibilities he can bear as much as possible, and become a murderer.

Moreover, the bad guy has to watch with his own eyes the Delphinium who was harmed by him and turned into a vegetative state or took responsibility, and watched Russell, who had just become a hero, "die for him" in the assassination operation against him. He wants to live and feel the regret caused by sacrificing important companions on his way to practice "justice".

——All of these, the plan one after another, are purely for the purpose of torturing the inferior.

Such strong hatred and such vicious conspiracy.

Just thinking about it made Russell's heart tremble.

So twisted.

And would such a person really plan with the simple result of "killing the inferior"?

Absolutely not.

To "that person", the inferior is better off alive than dead.

Then, it is impossible for Xiao Liuli to be deliberately contaminated with demonic traces.

Because this is just a casual move...the opponent knows that the inferior player will not come at all, and it doesn't matter whether Russell dies or not.

All he needs is a situation where "Russell is in danger" and needs an inferior person to rescue him.

As for which demon to investigate and which mission to perform, it doesn't matter.

Then, there is no point in infecting Xiao Liuli with his aura.

This will only waste a well-hidden secret for no reason. On the contrary, it may cause the bad guys to investigate in person because of the importance of Xiao Liuli's identity. In this way, his plan could not be completed.

But what if it’s the other way around?

Was it that Xiao Liuli had already shown signs of becoming a demon... so the other party planned to make use of the waste and took advantage of the situation to set up this trap?

While destroying the small Liuli as a matter of course, give the inferior one a big one.

The information sent to Russell by Minister Delphinium confirmed Russell's idea.

That is a lot of information about the underground singer codenamed "Blue Songbird".

"——At that time, there was a car accident with Blue Song Yuan and Blue Song Yuan's fiancée. She was a girl with long black hair and a pony as her spiritual relative. She was only twenty years old. Because she was not in college yet. I graduated, so I don’t have a code name.

"But the girl did not disappear immediately, but received the most appropriate treatment and disappeared three months after being discharged from the hospital.

"It is worth noting that neither Lan Geyu nor his fiancee's family background is well-off. Part of the reason why Lan Geyu chose to become a resident singer was to pay for the girl's expensive college tuition. The girl's family simply could not afford it. Such expensive treatment costs, but I can't find any loan or debt records. Therefore, it can be suspected that Bluebird has reached an agreement with an organization to advance or supplement the treatment costs for his fiancée."

"Bluebird" once sang at the Beehive Nightclub.

Just like the catwoman with a blue high ponytail that Russell saw in the lobby when he first came in.

He was not famous at that time, and was completely different from Xiao Liuli who later became popular throughout Happy Island...

Yes.

"he".

At that time, Blue Songbird was not the girl idol he is today... but a real man.

His spiritual relative is not a fold-eared cat at all, but a bluebird.

Because the bluebird's instinct as a songbird is to sing. That’s why he chose the path of music.
